Wait a Little Longer for Wii Sports Online
According to Nintendo a new Wii sports online, anticipated by many will not be released in the near future. While Wii sports has been a smashing success with many Wii sports reviews listing it as one of the best games of 2007 and 2008, a follow up title with online play available does not appear to be coming any time soon. So why is there no release? Nintendo have given some explanations.
Reasons Why Wii Sports Online is Not Available
The success and popularity of the first Wii sports game may be a factor. While this may seem odd, it is not so much that the first game was successful but more to the point of why it was successful. The game allows people to get together and play, creating an online version may cause the social aspect to stop meaning people will play with someone but only via cables. Not very sociable!
Nintendo’s current online community is not very strong or populous. It would be difficult to port over the sports game and making sure that the playability stayed at the level of the non Wii sports online straight console version seemed to be highly unlikely. With four or more player co-op and competitive play available on the console unit, is seems that this is put perfectly in place for success and adoption by gamers around the world. The fact that the games are not online is kind of what separates the Wii console from other consoles available. Offering online games may cause the Wii to become like the other consoles.
Nintendo are also developing other titles not just this one. While the sports line has been highly successful, Wii sports online was never truly meant to be a focus of the product. Now because of the desire and need for single specific titles it seems Wii Sport 2, and with it Wii sports online, have been pushed to the side. Hopefully after the new year there will be an incarnation of this because this game for one wants to see Wii sports online. Other sports games are played online so why can’t Wii sports?
